Community College Education Outcomes, Using a 529 Plan to Pay for College, Greek Life

Community College Education Outcomes, Using a 529 Plan to Pay for College, Greek Life
Much has been written lately about the amount of debt incurred by students pursuing bachelor’s degrees at four year institutions. But what about community college? We’ll welcome Jessica Braithwaite, a postdoctoral research associate at the Community College Research Center at Columbia University’s Teachers College, to the show to discuss whether or not this is a viable option for many students. We’ll also take a closer look at the role Greek life, i.e., fraternities and sororities, can play on campus and discuss the things you need to consider when using funds from a 529 plan to pay for college.
